Latina
My family left Somalia 11 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Latina. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was an engineer in Somalia, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $1,500 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $110 • Language classes and bus passes: $410 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $440 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $540 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Raffaele

        Thanks for sharing this, Raffaele. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

              praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
